Story

A beautiful flat cut almandine garnet set in repoussé gold of 9k makes for a striking slide on a silken fox tail chain of 15k gold. The clasp is the often sought after hand motif in which the hand grasps the clasp which must be turned to open and to be closed. Lovely details depicting the ruffled cuff of a sleeve of a blouse or dress are clearly displayed. All parts appear to be original to the pale gold necklace.
